we used to go to this beach house every summer in bethany beach, Delaware. its a nice quiet clean family beach town, not like ocean city maryland or even rehoboth beach. now that im back here as an old person i can appreciate it more.

the number of babes you will see on this beach is very very very low, and if you do happen to see one the chances of her being underage are very very very high. chances of seeing tons of kids and overweight parents and blinding white skin and sunburns is 100%

what are we doing?

flying that 40 meter kite i bought in beijing. it's magical. as soon as you take it out of the bag it starts dancing and flying away out of your hands. so it got all f'ing tangled up but we got it undone finally and got it up in the sky! it really takes no skill whatsover. literally it just flys out of your hand on its own. just make sure you let the ones at the end go slowly bit by bit.

i don't look as attractive or cool doing it do i.

horse shoe crab washed up onto shore.

smelled horrible cuz its been dead for who knows how long. these things are huge and hard. you could make helmets out of them if they didnt smell so bad.

mini golf, a Delaware beach tradition. mini golf is literally everywhere. no that i'm an old person i have the patience to putt decently. again please not too many comments about how cool and mature i am now. Well that's it for america, next time i see you on this blog i'll be in Paris!!!! Way to go out with a bang by cramming as much stuff into the north eastern part of the USA. see you soon Paris.
